Must have the Sacrament of Holy Eucharist
Attend Sunday mass
A person may not receive communion
Until absolved from Mortal or Venial sin

Thinking of the miseries given,
Hailing the justice given,
Absolute is my faith in you,
Never an error you will do,
Kindness is your inborn virtue,
Sin are absolved in simple way.!...

Some people believe that sin
Is easily washed away
Like scum on a bathtub wall
Sin sticks to your DNA

Although you may feel absolved
There is a Judgment Day
When all of your offspring discover
They have the Devil to pay...

Way down deep in the depth of my soul
Lives a naughty wee genie who's in total control
I'm absolved of all blame
Stumble forth with no shame
Damn genie's responsible, I'm now out on parole

an apology approaches awesome ambience
adverse advances amass at altars
academically aroused arcades are absolved

astonishingly abrupt adverbs articulate arduously
atlas awakens all around
arrggghhhhh audacious aardvarks attack aimlessly...

Betwixt these tithes at her antiquities keen asylums; a foretokens child esoteric
Paleolithic etchings; afore their myths the caverns Acheron's absolved; loric tides..
Acute, this illness ironic it's stones ? Theology sects scribes a second coming as time....

demon allure coaxing me near
to a place inhabited
roadside flare

with ample provisions
action follows suit
distress, undressed with motive too

rustic claw piercing
tetanus thighs
sullied my hands and bolstered a lie

absolved of blame
i return unchanged...

doves lade the sky like stars
the snowy white peace
a starry night released
over San Xavier del Bac

the cactus fruit and prayer
alive in sanguine petals
the mission gold altar and pews
absolved en pleine air

i sip my keepsake coffee cup

I 've made big mistakes.
Yet the world spins on.
Pages in a book.
That's what life's about.
Stories to be told.

I love myself.
Despite old scars.
My heart is true.
Soul is absolved.

Heart and soul
and my mind's
all I need.

Life's short.
Be proud.

Laugh!

Always in black, Fr. McShane
raises cathedral hands and intones,
‘our brother is finally home.’

Absolved of the fight to contain
a lifetime of tears
in this ceremonial splendor

I just have to wonder.  

His Nikes are ‘home’
in the walk-in closet,
aren’t they?

The light bulb absolved its flickering duty

Bayonet stuck in the depth of despair

‘Screw you’ but the mismatch prevailed


Life takes a psychic but the medium is fraught

The planet a stroboscope for fits of illusion

She severed the cord and turned on the gas


Shadow play and the pantomime was over...

In a blanket league 
Of succession'
He took away all my shame
Absolved all my confessions'
There was no need to blame
He subtly eased my pain
He did it once again
He accepted my 
Unmitigated surrender
Then He opened His widow pane
To resurrect my Spirit again
And then with a pension
For dispensation 
He graciously let me in

Sometimes our pride gets in the way,
of things we would like to say.
Like I'm sorry and I'm wrong,
words that help us get along.

Seems so hard to give in
and be absolved of our sin.
We choose to live with regret,
better to forgive and forget.

We must all learn to bend,
if we hope our hearts to mend.

The hurt on my heart stand steel melt butter what is pure will

Up all night sound of a barrel weight of time let absolved

Morning of label feet of will content value motion accent

Rare fit God I am here a God fear man

The hurt on my heart ten and ten can’t bring my will

Up all night sound of a barrel weight of time let absolved

Pure Heart....

Owing a debt
you can never repay
Beatitudes leveraged
salvation in play

Moments beholden
to all that’s to come
Providence calling
in voices unsung

Eternally liable
the invoice sublime
Whose terms reverential
the bursar Divine

The wings of an angel
the wings of a dove
In debt to forgiveness
—absolved from above

Involute ascendency of an omniscient detriment encased a 
crystalline fragility fragmenting. Yearning a periphery absolved 
stains the insidious chronicle red. A fading feeling of self 
treason is absolute utopia asunder. Subtly i digress yet 
paramount is this polarity diverse within me. Caged withing a 
translucent spirit my voracious depths untold stagnate abound....

Troubled world
Shaken to the core
Shivers in tremors
Our inner calm implores.

Troubled heart
Shaken to the soul
Shivers in haggard
Our fear a deadly foe.

Troubled lives
Shaken to their root
Shivers in fault lines
Our faux pas to undo.

Troubled world
Shaken by one and all
Shivers in honor
Our tears have absolved.

“We live between 
the beasts and the Angels”

On this topic
Augustine was right

Our intellects bear
what our impulses share

Separating the wrong
from the right

We live between
the Lord and the devil

Each claiming a stake
in our souls

As primates absolved
into humans evolved

Two halves
—of a now different whole

On life's inclusive scroll of merits seen,
stands few above a true commitment made.
Affairs have shown enduring goals do lean
upon firm resolutions deeply laid.
With solemn oath man's troth can't be charade,
supporting leaders, mind must be resolved.
Cause taken means devotion dare not fade,
and given promise may not be dissolved.
Until death severs union, we can't be absolved....

They have removed my restraints. 

They are done observing me now. 

I have been absolved. 

And now they have spit me out into the streets. 

I’m still feeling a bit rabid. 

In that tired sort of way.

A little dazed, you could say. 

I am once again bound to reality. 

But I will still explore my new world. 

And let go of joy. 

To find satisfaction. 

In what my captors left for me....

Their marriage has to be dissolved,
Nothing again to be resolved,
Twelve good years and problems unsolved, 
Their priest had her of guilt absolved, 
Mark who had thrice their problem solved,
Three is Lord God's Holy Number,
No case against her being sombre,
She'll stay right through the Judge's Gavel,
And  then to Great Britain travel...

Joan: The Fed up with her Marriage,
Not planning to find the courage....

Before I gave the judge my guilty plea
and turned a fable into honesty,
I thought of all I’d miss for ninety days
while patched in pumpkin orange and dwelling grays;

this I’ll confess: unrest confined my crime
and forced my will on unsuspecting time,
until my mother’s weekly visit came;
until her love absolved imprisoned shame.

Centered, I envision my next flux for the illuminant
Deepening each stretch, I angle to the ruminant
Breaths breathed deep, I press into a bent round
Clearing my mind space, hands grasping at the ground

Mornings pass by, entering each one in the same
Renewing by imitating nature's avid, sparking flame
Rhythm artlessly singing, conflict emptied at the door
Consciousness absolved, my bond begins here on the floor...
